Safety Manual 1 8 3 Minimum Operator Qualifications Owner’s Responsibility To avoid injury: The owner is responsible for training himself and all other operators and mechanics. Before starting the engine and/ or operating the machine, each operator must read and understand the Operator Manual, the Safety Manual and all other training material. If the person cannot read English, the owner is responsible to explain the material to them.
Safety Manual 6 9 7 Inspecting work area Operation Avoid serious injury! • DO NOT change the engine governor setting or over speed the engine. The top engine speed when the machine is in Neutral is 3450 RPM. Use the electronic multifunction display to monitor the top speed and make adjustments as necessary. Prior to operating, carefully inspect the work areas for hazards or uneven ground that may be hidden in the grass.
Safety Manual 10 12 9 Inspect machine before each use Forward operation Examine the machine prior to each use. DO NOT use the machine if any parts are not in good working condition. • Check for worn tires, cracks in parts, loose or missing bolts, cotter pins etc. and replace or repair before operating. Loss-of-control may cause death or serious injury.
Safety Manual 15 To avoid Loss-of-control, tip-over, and rollover Loss-of-control, tip-over or rollover may cause death or serious injury. This machine has a high center of gravity and turf conditions affect stability. Slopes are a major factor in loss-of-control, tip-over, and rollover accidents. • Never shift gears while the machine is moving as this may cause a rapid slowdown or stop the front wheels causing loss-of -control or a forward tip over.
Safety Manual When pointing across an incline… (continued) Recommendations for driving across a hillside: • Lean uphill to provide better balance for you and transfer more weight to the uphill wheels. • DO NOT change speed suddenly. • DO NOT make sharp turns as you may lose your balance and be thrown off the machine or loose control. When making turns, slow down and make gradual turns. The machine also has a tendency to rollover when performing this maneuver.
Pre-Operation Inspection 18 13 20 Tire Safety Pesticide Safety Tires are filled with pressurized diluted RV antifreeze to provide ballast for a lower center of gravity. Explosive separation of rim and tires may cause serious injury. The improper use, handling, application, and disposal of pesticide products applied by this machine may cause death or serious injury. • DO NOT remove fluid from tires. • All replacement tires must be fluid filled.
